Loreto Grammar School
Altrincham, WA14 4AH · Trafford · Grammar school
4th of 18 secondary schools in Trafford we can score, 19 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 225 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5/10 among them, against 9.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 92.4 · 96 | 30% | 2.90 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.06 · 98 | 25% | 2.46 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 73.7 · 98 | 10% | 0.98 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 92.4% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 73.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.06 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5 out of 10 among them, against 9.7 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 1072 pupils in a capacity of 1041, meaning it is over capacity by 31. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is currently over capacity? What support structures are in place for pupils to maintain their strong progress scores? How does the curriculum adapt to the specific needs of a girls-only intake?
